About the book

THE VIRAL HOCKEY ROMANCE SENSATION FROM INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, CHELSEA CURTO. COMES WITH AN EXCLUSIVE BONUS CHAPTER.

It feels more and more like my heart isn't even my own anymore. It's hers, and I think it's always going to be hers . . .

Riley Mitchell is used to winning. A back-to-back Stanley Cup champion, his life has always revolved around the game - until a devastating accident leaves him without his right leg and uncertain of who he is without the ice beneath his skates.

Lexi Armstrong is the DC Stars athletic trainer assigned to his recovery, and she refuses to let Riley give up on himself. Independent, sharp-tongued and endlessly supportive, she pushes him to rebuild not just his strength, but his confidence too.

What starts as late nights and easy banter, turns into a friends-with-benefits arrangement neither of them planned. It's supposed to be simple - purely physical, no emotions involved. But 'just once' quickly becomes something deeper, and Riley finds himself falling harder than he ever expected.

Now Riley and Lexi must decide if they'll keep pretending it's only about the physical - or risk everything for a future that looks nothing like the one he lost.

Hat Trick is a spicy friends-to-lovers hockey romance with injury recovery, emotional healing, friends with benefits, he falls first (and hard) and a guaranteed happily ever after from bestselling author Chelsea Curto. Please check content warnings as some material may be sensitive to readers.

THE DC STARS WILL BECOME YOUR NEW OBSESSION . . .

    “They're all good days with you, Riley."

    Keine Ahnung wie die Serie es schafft, aber ich habe bisher jedes Buch geliebt. Auch dieses hier wieder. Bisher mein Favorite. Riley die wandelnde Green Flag mit seiner eigenen tragischen Geschichte. Mal etwas komplett anderes als die üblichen Hockey-Stars. Lexi ist eine independent Frau und mit ihr kann man sich sehr gut identifizieren. Eine schön zu lesende Story ohne unsinniges Drama. Einfach perfekt.

    „The romance books I read are right: having a guy turn a little unhinged and defend your honor is sexy as hell.“

    Erwachsene Charaktere. Geschichte mit Tiefe. Er verliert im ersten Kapitel bei einem nicht verschuldeten Autounfall ein Bein unterhalb des Knies. Sie ist älter als er. Er ist schon zu Beginn verliebt in sie. Sie weiß davon. Sie fängt aber a) nichts mit Kollegen an und b) ist sie kein Beziehungstyp. „There are a lot of things I’d like Lexi to do to me - with me and for me too - and none of them are appropriate for the workplace. I’ve had a crush on her for goddamn years, but I guess I need to start getting over my attraction to her.“ Es ist richtig spannend zu lesen wie er sich einerseits mental erholt, körperlich wieder stärker wird und sich nebenbei das zarte Band der romantischen Liebe zwischen beide festigt. Am meisten war ich dann darauf neugierig ob es ein künstliches Break-up im letzten Drittel gibt oder ob sie miteinander sprechen. Und 3-2-1 🥁 … „I‘m waiting for things to start going wrong, because everything in my life seems too damn good to be true.“ … ooooh sie kommunizieren miteinander aber sie braucht etwas um zu sich selbst zu stehen. Aber ohne dieses ganze Drama Lama 🦙 Zeug 😁 „And he knows you need time to figure out what you want.“ Gutes Buch! 🙌 Große Empfehlung ♥️
